Good days vs Bad days who will win?

Yesterday = Stress
Today = Awesomeness

Yesterday
I had barely slept the night before so that will add dramatically as to why this day was stressful to me. Avery cried and cried I held her she cried I put her down she cried well then she fell asleep. Shaylen would not eat I kept trying I knew she was hungry and yet she wasn't eating. She wanted her bottle but I would hand it to her and she would knock it away. I would set it where she could get it but she had to reach for it if she really wanted it and when I started getting busy doing something else she would sneak the bottle and start drinking it, little booger ha ha. I think about it now and it is so funny but yesterday it was so frustrating. Brayden was climbing on me all day and while at first I didn't mind it started getting old especially when I was trying to do other things. Like I said I had barely slept so it wasn't even that big of a deal.

Today
Well I barely slept again last night but I woke up and laid in bed and thought of the best things I could do this morning to make it a better day. I took a shower, I wore comfy clothes, I didn't wear make up, I was just easy going this morning without worry. I went to work and I got Shaylen out of bed and got her giggling and laughing. I put her down with some cheerios while I went to go get Avery who also smiled at me when I got her. I fed both of them and they both ate so well and had Shaylen laughing and eating. Got on the floor and played with Shaylen while Avery fell asleep. Brayden came home from school and we played knights and pirates and got him to lay down because after knights slay pirates they need to take a rest and lay down in their bed from such a long hard days work. I told him some made up stories and he started to fall asleep! No arguing, or demanding he go lay down. He went to lay down willingly and started to fall asleep all while pretending he was a knight and to gain his strength back he had to rest. I went and checked on him a little later and he saw me and cried because he didn't want to lay down anymore but man was he tired and fell right back to sleep not much later. Then we went out to dinner and I got to sit with the little kids and we played a mystery eating game and I got to hold Avery until she fell asleep only the best feeling ever!



Man what a difference in days huh? I need to try to always remember to only think of the good things because I believe your attitude rubs off on those around you and these kids can tell you are having a bad day and will react to that. Now I get to go to bed with a smile on my face I love these kids so much. Reilly and Lyndsey have been super sweet today and did things the first time I asked so that rocks!!!
